Haven't seen this thread made yet, so I thought I would make it and give my thoughts after the Launch Night.

As I said before, I really liked last years series just for the production value. And this has continued this year. But wow did someone watch BBUK 9 before producting this show. The divide may have been introduced in 2002, but the actual design of the house being in 2 is straight from that series. As is the married couple twist.

I have to say though that I like it. The English Big Brothers borrow everything from each other (usually us and the US), as it is the same company. Plus I feel like Australia executes it a bit better. The halfway house is far more cruel than ours ever was. Other than the food thing. It may not turn out as good, but I am enjoying it for now. Its basically our ideas executed on a bigger budget and a bit more fairly. And I also feel like Australia stick with twists better. They did the Mole a lot better in 06 than we just did, and the couple thing makes far more sense (as in they have been matched up) than Mario and whats her name.

Also love their main Big Brother voice. Much prefer when Big Brother sounds like "the voice of God" as opposed to some producer with a lisp.

I dunno it may be camp, but its a glamorous sort of camp rather than the tacky camp that we have. Guess that's what a bigger budget can do.

Oh and Tim? It's like Micheal from last year and Paul from 04 had a love child.
